New fluid will no longer have fine particulates in it, partial slip held by the fine particulates may turn into a complete slip. New fluid will dissolve all crud and carbon build up, overwhelm the filter and plug the fine valve body passages making her toast, irradic shifts, no shifts and such...

Starting procedure on any high-ER compression engine makes all the difference.

When a builder knows what they are doing. @Stump Shot We have yet to have a bad day in 6 years of hard use ownership. 20" of pure fun.

Scott, You forgot to feed the shop stove, temps dipped below your liking. Wisconsin fall showed its true colors.

While this may be beneficial to some, I do belive the old school way of filing is the best. Either system will require muscle memory.

Scott, Very nice explanation. I was thinking intake but never thought about the science of exhaust. Learned something new today.

Scott, Could you at some point explain why you leave your ports rough. I think I know the answer but don't want to be accused of leading the witness. Sad that some said they will not have a saw ported by you because of the rough ports. They just don't see the bigger picture. This is the...

550mk2 torque monster from @Stump Shot Steve on a 20" in 5 year dry hardwood, 7/32 file, full bar length, knot cuts and crosscuts don't bog down one bit. Just a lot of fun from a very small package. Partial throttle, she don't want to fall flat on its face. O and the world famous easy peazy...

Mark @Crocky28 does some very fine work.

Howdy Sir. Glad to see you after some time. As a pro, you will have your chain set up for the fiber/dryness/power thus I am sure you will have great results. Me, a fresh out of the box chain impedes cutting performance due to the variable raker/tooth lenghts out of the factory. Happy and...

And a good leap of faith you took. @Stump Shot is as solid as they get. Your build will exceed your wildest expectations. Don't ask how I know... My 372OE on a lazy magnificent seven pulls a 24"/28" like it's a warm up. Glad we had a very open and honest communication on this build, and very...

@Stump Shot Steve is as solid as they get, all his builds amaze me with the trouble free operation and of couse the power gains.

Scott you are truly a legend in your own right. I have seen some very solid chainsaw mechanics, both builders and porters use your device, some the outside OPE crowd. Our friend Steve @Stump Shot had nothing but the kindest of words about you when we had lengthy conversations about my...

I have yet to notice any difference. Vallrobe, Oregon, Pferd, Husky all perfom well. I tap my file out after each tooth. I use a fine brush when switching L to R filing to get the small metal fines out. Oregon 9/64 file on Stihl 65DL 1/4" two full loops done, third loop has about 1/4 left...

Randy hope all is well with your medical. Do not over do it during recovery, you don't want any medical set backs. Good customer should understand and exercise patience.
